However, I couldn't seem to find any more information about the project besides the video and comments.

Unless you have a google branded Nexus device, you are highly unlikely to get android updates. No one wants to be bothered. Google tried to get some industry wide initiative going for regular updates, and had lots of people sign up with great fanfare, but actual updates to non-Nexus devices are still pretty rare (they have happened sometimes). It will be interesting to see if the new Moto phones get updates since google owns them now.

Does anyone have the APK file for it?  It shows up in the google play store on my Note 2 but will not show up on my Toshiba Thrive tablet.  I don't really want to tie up my phone to print... if the app really works out.

Edit... Well, tried downloading it onto my Verizon Note and I keep getting an error code.  Guess I won't be trying it at all until I can find an apk.

What is your Android version?  The app takes Android 4.0 and up.

I just tried the free version on my 2013 Nexus 7 tablet, and it seems to be able to talk fine. I could use the manual controls to move the print head around, home it, etc. Don't know how well the connection holds up for a long print (or how well the battery holds up since you'd probably have to disable all sleep functions to keep it going, but I suppose it might be able to use the wireless charging to keep it going).

Now all we need is the ability to mount the android tablet so the rear camera is pointing to a known view of the bed and have the simulated build compared to the real build so it can stop it automatically when things go wrong :-).

that would be ridiculous. Ridiculously awesome! I am sure my earlier prints would trip the auto stop even when things when "right".

Of course I don't need to print from a droid, I want to.

rPi still needs a power outlet and a wifi dongle.  A droid is a pocket based fully contained solution.
